We purchased a Skoda Rapid last week (had to tick Octavia above as Rapid wasn't an option on the drop-down), so it has just passed its MOT with no issues. Until today it's been fine, but it took a while to startup (usually its immediate, but took 4 seconds), then the dashboard lights remained on, and the pedals were unresponsive. Turned the car off and restarted, and it came on immediately and seemed absolutely fine again. So just a little concerned what happened the first time.

I added the model to the list thanks. It sounds like you may have had water in the fuel, or you have a fuel pressure sensor that is going out, we should run the codes to see if any got stored during the event.
